It displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a fine perlage, combining notes of candied fruit with hints of brioche. On the palate, it is dry, with a fresh and creamy structure supported by a pleasant savouriness, making it ideal for accompanying delicate starters, cheeses, and fish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in the hilly vineyards of Piedmont, between Monferrato and the Langhe, in the municipalities of Grana, Castagnole Monferrato, and Montemagno. The different exposures allow Montalbera to obtain fruit with a very precise aromatic profile. The soils are characterised by a deep clay and limestone matrix, a composition that gives the wine a distinct territorial identity. This geological richness ensures the acidity and gustatory tension essential for creating high-quality base wines, crucial for the formation of the mousse and for preserving the longevity of the sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vinification protocol involves the use of the Traditional Method, starting with gentle pressing. The wine undergoes a slow maturation on the lees for 36 months in temperature-controlled environments, promoting the integration of aromas and the elegance of the perlage. At disgorgement, the topping up is carried out exclusively with the same cuvée, without any sugar dosage. This technical choice aims to enhance the integrity of the grape variety and ensures a dry, savoury flavour profile with a notably persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated by oenologist Nino Falcone between the Langhe and Monferrato regions, this exclusive limited-edition sparkling wine expresses the true vocation of the territory.
